Incidentally, seeing the speaker set up an overkill neural network for a trivial classification problem seemed off to me.
Unsurprisingly, at least 75% of the neurons were unused.
Throwing a phenomenal amount of neurons at a problem is not a goal; using a minimal amount to solve it in a given time budget is.
The statement at the end of the video, “all the serious applications from here on out need to have deep learning and AI inside”, seems awfully misguided. Even DeepMind doesn't use deep learning for everything.
